Dear Richard, 

Melbourne-Noosa is roughly the same as London-Istanbul.  Surely there
are better ways of using time and money than this - they might actually
reduce - not increase - the greenhouse effect.  Would you fly to Sofia
from Manchester for a glimpse of a Budgerigar (in case it's a genuine
blow-in) ??  

In my lists I always assumed the Cockatiel and Crimson Rosella I saw in
the streets in London NW3 were the real thing (which they were).

Yours, regretting it was not a female Rock Thrush which would have given
mega i/d headaches and envying your access to the geese flocks and
clouds of waders in winter, 

Michael Norris
